Do you 110 YEARS AGO The settlements in the vicinity of the present town in Buckhannon in the year 1770 were about as follows: Samuel Pringle, John Pringle, William Pringle, John Cutright and Samuel Oliver lived on Cutrights run, a branch of Buckhannon river, three or four miles above where the town of Buckhannon is now situated. Thomas Carney, Zacharias Westfall and George Casto resided on Stony run, about two miles above town, Joel Westfall on the West side of the river, below Radcliffs run; Abraham Carper still lower down in the bend of the river, on the farm now owned by Levi Leonard, Jacob Brake lived below the mouth of Finks run, where Daniel Carper now resides Henry Jackson where the old fort had been in 1780, about one and a half miles below town, Edward Jackson where the town is now situated; Jacob Hyre, on Finks run, and had a little mill where William D. Farnsworth now resides; -- Allman, Jacob Lorentz, ***George Bozarth lived higher up on Finks run; John Hyre, Philip Reger, John Tingle, Jacob Schoolcraft, Leonard Simon and Solomon Collins on the Brushy fork of Finks run Jacob Post on the east side of the run above the mouth of Little Sand run, where Isaac Strader now lives; John Strader, John and Abram Crites, Abraham Post John Jackson, Anthony Rohrbough and George Bush still lower down, farms adjoining each other, Joseph Davis on the west side of the river near the mouth of Turkey run, where Adam Carper now resides; David Casto lived over the ridge, where one of his sons has since resided. The persons here mentioned composed almost the entire community at that day, and all have long since passed away, and their lands, as a natural consequence, have passed into other hands. One generation passes away, and another takes its place. Upshur County, West Virginia Hardesty's Guide of 1883, pp. 117-122 I've put astrisks by George Bozarth. There is a lot of info on early families. The entire 117-122 is transcribed on my web pages. There are a number of Clark marriages amongst those listed there.
